Saw the Monkees in 1968. Peter played a mean banjo.

OMG! I remember dancing to the Monkees at our 7th grade homeroom Christmas Party! I loved the Monkees!
RIP Peter.

Maybe Nick Sandmann can make ‘The Washington Compost’ great again, since he’s sueing The Post....

Flying out of L.A., they may have thought you were with the Jefferson Airplane or Crosby Stills & Nash.
Flying into Texas, they may have thought you worked for Janis Joplin or Willie Nelson.

The difference I note is that guys will run out of patience and fight and get it over with.
Women on the other hand will do a slow burn, sit back and look for an opportunity to extract some backstabbing vengeance at a future date.
I think it’s about being averse to open conflict.

Fun fact about “The Stone Poneys”...
The trio group, which included Kenny Edwards (lead guitar) who played (bass) with Ronstadt for many years, did not play on “Different Drum”.
However, a guitarist by the name of Bernie Leadon, played on that track. Bernie went on to help co-found a little group called “The Eagles”.

Only Nesmith and Tork were musicians. Actually, Davey Jones was a true musician and was a classically trained tambourine player.

My friend (on the right) worked on their show as a dancer. She's still pretty close to them.

Didn’t Mike Nesmith help create/finance MTV or something? I forget what it was, but it made him rich.
